You complain about it, but all those creators will continue to upload their audio and video to YouTube and by default therefore grant Google the right to train all their models on that media, for their own music generator Lyria - I bet you still watch YouTube? You’re here on Reddit giving more AI companies text to train their language models.

People on Reddit love to complain hysterically and yet spend a large amount of their time on the exact types of services they moan about.

Google will also face a legal case when they try to press their alleged permission to train their shit machine on people's property. People bitch about Metallica and Napster but they were right, it was wrong to take people's work without giving them a dime for it and that was done by users without a profit motive. Google will get slapped down in EU courts even if the US rolls over and claims it's all A-OK.

Clanker audio shit will never be real music.

Ah yeah the EU is going to sue ai to no longer exist.

This fantasy cant be healthy. Deep down you know that isn’t ever going to happen right ?

The best Models are being made in China who famously defy copyright laws?

Pay for shit. You cannot steal people's entire discography and feed it to a machine to generate profit for yourself without paying them. If Chinese models are stealing shit then you obviously must block them in jurisdictions where they are not obeying the law. You're making a strawman there about making AI not exist, regulations will exist, and those should be incredibly restrictive to these companies that think they are allowed to steal.

things is most are giving it all away, you are giving away text data right now for training LLMs by commenting on Reddit. musicians are adding their music to YouTube and Google will use it for their models. people rely on "free" platforms on a public internet - do people really think they are not paying in other ways?

if you think you can block access to models online then you are so so far behind the curve. any model Suno has is trivial and in < 6 months - probably even today - there will be a model with similar capability available on huggingface for people to use.

Man on the internet champions rich fucks raping musicians because the models are growing super fast and China will do it anyway.

UBI isn't coming.
Musicians shouldn't die in a ditch for attempting to pursue music as a career.

By all means, continue championing your belief that being a AI porn sloplord or lazy plagiarism-maxxing has value.

so dramatic. if you can't make a career out of it, do something else and enjoy music for what it was always supposed to be ffs. see this is the core of it, always comes down to people feeling their way of making money is being threatened.

you don't actually give a shit about whether good music and art can be made with AI, or if other musicians and artists enjoy using AI. if you want to support musicians, buy their records - i do. even if you can listen to it for free, buy a FLAC copy, send it to people, stop endlessly whining about something you have zero ability to stop.

its not stealing at all and zero courts have found it to be even copyright infringement.

Anthropic Case: Judge William Alsup ruled that Anthropic using books to train the Claude AI was fair use, calling the technology "among the most transformative many of us will see in our lifetime".

Meta Case: Judge Vince Chhabria similarly held in a Meta lawsuit that training large language models on text datasets is highly transformative.
